Research and Special Interests: We are interested in designing and exploring the chemistry of transition metal complexes containing sterically encumbered ligands derived from main group elements. The transition metals of interest are those belonging to the Fe, Co and Ni triads. Our work makes available new unsaturated heteronuclear complexes for the purpose of hydrogen and small molecule activation, and homogeneous catalysis. Transition metal complexes have and always will play the crucial part in the chemistry of hydrogen, and catalytic hydrogenations. Our work also sheds light on the mechanistic pathways of hydrogen/small molecule addition and elimination. We are also interested in using our metal cluster complexes as molecular precursors to heterogeneous catalysts and potential industrial catalysts. We synthesize heteronuclear transition metal clusters and characterize all the complexes using various methods such as single crystal X-ray crystallography, fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
